I thought that was me in the second one, but I think it's a 4200? Don't get the comments on the thread that the Maserati driver 'got it right' second time? I'd have thought getting well out of the way, like he did first time, is the right thing? Certainly what I did at least once, which is why I wondered if it was me!

Unless he's got the laps the 'wrong' way

Interesting video. I had a GTR came up inside me on the straight after the first land harder as I was moving back across to the left ready for the right-handed. It's a sh!t place to overtake, especially when someone's following a good line and getting to where they need to be. Had a memorable number plate. I just avoided him after that.

The TVR was bloody lucky!

Incidentally, the two-laps idea is great and should be encouraged. Better for car, driver and passenger.

Found a couple of videos on youtube, the first might be the incident Contigo told me about where a TVR spun out in front of Mrs Contigo, thankfully she was in a truck, if this is that incident she would be in the George truck. Also note the BS of the driver saying that he did 203mph 'on the clock'. Not sure if he's referring to doing this at Bruntingthorpe but Adam's 458 was 'only' doing 170...

The second shows that some people rather push through an overtake rather than sit back and ensure that the driver in front has seen you.

I'm not convinced by the bragging the guys makes but hey he's got a japanese car, and I'll leave it at that...

That was me that he nearly side swiped , what everyone doesn't see is the BMW got it all wrong into the corner so I had to slow down or I would of plowed into him , the gtr was only focus on trying to get around me but wasn't aware of what was going on in front of him that's why he nearly went into the back of the bimmer . Total idiot and if he Carried on driving like that will end up causing a accident . And if you watch his entry speed around the out side was very alarming I would be surprised if he would of made it . If he hadn't to slam on the anchors

That was a different TVR incident. It seems they can't drive at all.

Don't these GTR's have all the bells and whistles when it comes to traction control etc, hence why we'll never see them spin, I wonder what happens if one of us or the TVR or even Lotus drivers got in as a passenger and said, 'OK now without electronics!'

Good point martin , most of the gtr drivers seem to be ok but for this idiot ,I think he had quite a few complaints hence why they organiser came over and apologised on his behalf , says it all really! As I said before I think he forgot the reason he was there .

Exactly my point, it was all for charidee not a race, I was going to comment on his Youtube video but thought better of it. (especially as my name appears! I need to change that...)

Did it have a number plate which looked like it almost said "turbo"?

He was on the brakes all the way into the chicane turn! Fundamental error! Very poor driving and how to completely unsettle a mid engined rear drive car....

I'd have thought that would unsettle just about any RWD car. Again, thought it was just me that looked at that and went 'hmmm'

The TrakkTape guys have asked for some feedback on the product as well as a few photos. Would those who used the tape please provide their thoughts on it here and I will collate.
